Match the upper and lowercase letters of hearts

I really wasn’t sure if Henry knew his lowercase letters, so I thought this might be a nice test just to see what he knew. Not to really push him into learning it, but more as an evaluation or assessment of his knowledge.

Plus they are hearts so even more fitting for Valentine’s Day coming up!

Henry surprised me and knew probably 75% of the lowercase letters.

He had troubles with some, which was mainly because of the font of the letters (‘I’ was just a straight line, ‘J’ had no line on the top, ‘q’ had no curly q fora tail), so I markered over them.

I’ve found that there are many letters that are really hard to differentiate when they’re lowercase, ‘b’ and ‘d’ often get mixes up, as well as ‘q’ and ‘p’.

As Henry has grown up a lot since doing this activity, we’re still working on letter recognition, just to reinforce it. We recently made a bead bracelet for Valentine’s Day that he also worked on matching upper and lowercase letters to make words.
